January 4th - 10th

In Our Family This Week...
* Cami flew home from her visit with us
* August started back to work
* Mom and the girls accompanied dad to Billings for most of the week
* Mom and dad went to the Bismark Temple and then had dinner at Red Lobster afterwards
* The ENTIRE family (minus Seth) got the stomach flu! Luckily mom didn't get it as severe as the rest and was glad that everyone was throwing up at the same time (instead of each day someone new getting sick...) We all stayed home from church today and rested.

Spiritually Speaking...
We are so grateful for the guidance that the Lord gives us and that we can go to him in prayer with BIG decisions in life! After visiting the city of Billings and getting a feel for the job there and the housing market, we felt we were in a position to make an informed decision on whether or not to take the job. We both had feelings of "home" while driving around the city and it just seemed like a great fit for our family!! After lengthy discussions, we felt that the Lord wanted us there and that our family would find lots of happiness. So... off we went to the Temple to pray about our decision. We both felt peaceful and joyous and that it was the right decision to move. I can't imagine making these big, life-changing decisions without the help of the Lord! We know that if we follow the Lord in all things that we will be blessed. We have made some life-long friends here in Minot - and we will be sad to leave them! However, we know the Lord is watching over us and I'm certain that we will make new (life-long) friends and love our time in Billings! Let the packing begin!!
